Re: [NTLK] beaming question

When beaming you may want to turn "receive beams automatically" on to
receive beams but remember to turn it off when done beaming. "Receive beams
automatically" drains your batteries. When I used to beam from a 120 to a
2100 (OK, I did it once.) I sent he received bing bang done! I beam from my
Emate to my 2100, in both directions all of the time. I get them a couple of
inches apart start the send then click receive and bing bang done! (I like
the bing bang thing this morning.) Any way I just want to mention the
battery drain aspect of "receive beams automatically". And to say bing bang
a few times.

One thing you should check is that both the emate and the 120 have
"receive beams automatically" on. I have found that most of the time,
if this is not on (on both machines) then beaming will fail. Also make
sure that they are a few inches apart. This has made a big difference
when I was beaming.
